Nick Gebhardt, ASMP, embodiment coach
Nick is a long-time advertising creative, some-time competitive athlete, part-time musician and full-time father of three boys. As a Chi for Two® Embodiment Coach and Associate Somatic Movement Practitioner with ISMETA, he offers a mix of life coaching, creative business coaching, parent coaching and wellness coaching, to help people move energy within their bodies in ways that ultimately improve their lives.
With experience in the business world and across the sports landscape, Nick has a useful understanding of playful competition in the creative process, and offers the tools to move from a place of busy-ness to embodiment.
Given his training in relational and development somatics, and firm understanding of Eastern and Western traditions, any session Nick offers is ripe with information, interpretation and education. Further, he brings a unique perspective to dreamwork and recognizes the importance and potential of plant medicines as it relates to inner work and healing overall.
Nick shows people how to take better care of themselves through movement by focusing on relationships, because relationships affect our nervous system functioning.
As a parent coach, he teaches new ways for parents to combat our less active and technology-centered world to help their kids get off the screen and into the world.
On occasion, Nick and his wife—fellow embodiment coach Caroline Gebhardt—team up to co-lead Chi for Two coaching sessions for romantic partners and parents through their business M-Bodied: And yes, they also team up to co-lead the raising of their children...24 hours a day.
Nick offers in-person embodiment coaching in Atlanta, GA, USA, as well as virtually worldwide.
